Suspect in case of missing grandparents and child to make court appearance-The Canadian Press By Bill Graveland, The Canadian Press | JULY 16,14-YahooNews

CALGARY - A man who has been under investigation in the disappearance of a little Calgary boy and his grandparents will appear in court this morning.Douglas Garland, who is 54, is charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of Alvin and Kathryn Liknes, and second-degree murder in the death of five-year-old Nathan O'Brien.No bodies have been found but police say there is sufficient evidence to conclude the trio have been slain.On Tuesday night, relatives gathered at a park across the street from the O'Brien home to release hundreds of green balloons in memory of the little boy and his grandparents, a tribute that was repeated in communities across the province.Nathan's mother and father, Rod and Jennifer O'Brien, wept and held each other and their son Luke as they watched the ballloons fly away.Jennifer's brother, Jeff Liknes, says he has not given up hope that his parents and nephew may still come home safely.

Nathan O'Brien case: Civilian search party scours Airdrie fields-CBC – JULY 16,14-YahooNews

Volunteers from three provinces and at least one U.S. state have come together near Airdrie, Alta., to scour the rural area for any signs of Calgary five-year-old Nathan O’Brien and his grandparents, Kathy and Alvin Liknes. About 150 people from Alberta, Saskatchewan and B.C., as well as one traveller from Minnesota, combed meticulously through a search area defined by organizers of the civilian-led effort after a confidential phone call with police.Calgary police have laid murder charges against 56-year-old Douglas Garland, who was initially questioned by police as a person of interest during the early stages of the investigation and arrested on Monday.Garland was charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of the Likneses, and one count of second-degree murder in the death of their grandson. Investigators say they believe all three are dead.The spontaneous search came together Monday, when a group of parents in Airdrie posted a call out for volunteers on social media."I’m a grandmother, so I’ve had a terrible feeling in my stomach for the whole two weeks since this happened," said Jaimie Tessier, one of the organizers.A local Safeway grocery store donated food and other supplies, which were supplemented by donations from concerned residents."We’re a community that sticks together," said Greg Dyki, a Safeway manager. "Family needs to know where family is and that’s why we’re here."Kathy Keyes, a Minnesota woman who was passing through Alberta when she read the news about the Calgary family that has been missing since the end of June, told CBC News she felt she had to stop and help the search effort."It sounds like that little boy was caught in the middle, and that’s the hard part," she said.Organizers of the civilian search party said they will continue their work on Wednesday, and won’t stop until police advise them otherwise.

Douglas Garland has business, personal ties to Nathan O'Brien's family-CBC –JULY 16,14-YahooNews

The man charged in the deaths of Calgary residents Kathryn (Kathy), 66, and Alvin Liknes, 53, and their five-year-old grandson Nathan O'Brien has personal and business links to the family, and a criminal history.Douglas Garland, 54, was charged Tuesday with first-degree murder in connection with the grandparents' deaths.He was charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of Nathan, who was at his grandparents' home for a sleepover the night before they were all reported missing. Their bodies have not been found.Garland's sister, Patti, is in a common-law relationship with Alvin Liknes's son. His sister also lists Nathan's parents, Rod and Jennifer O'Brien, as well as Kathy Liknes (the missing grandmother) as "friends" on Facebook. One member of the Liknes family is also listed as a niece. Police believe Garland and Alvin Liknes were involved in a patent dispute and that there was "bad blood" between them because of business dealings that had gone sour.Liknes had previously registered a patent for an apparatus that separates gas from water. Family members confirmed to CBC News that the patent was a sore point between Liknes and Garland, who had worked together in the past.Police have confirmed they are investigating a business relationship between Garland and Alvin Liknes."There are some business issues that we are looking into," Calgary Police Service spokesperson Kevin Brookwell said on July 10."I can't get into specifics about what these are and who was involved, what they look like or how many people were involved. But yes, we have got a number of people who are looking into that."Garland, who had been considered a "person of interest" in the case, was staying at a motel in Airdrie, just north of Calgary, after being released on $750 bail on unrelated charges when police arrested him Monday. The motel is close to the farm property owned by Garland's parents, which has been at the centre of the investigation into the disappearance of the Liknes grandparents and their grandson.Garland also faces a charge of identity theft not related to the missing family investigation, and a charge of unlawfully possessing a bank card.In 1992, after a drug lab bust on his parents' property, Garland was charged with drug trafficking, possession of stolen property and identity theft. After failing to appear at court in 1992 for drug charges, the then 33-year-old Garland disappeared.A document from the Tax Court of Canada indicates Garland was later discovered living in Vancouver under the name of Mathhew Kemper Hartley, a 14-year-old Alberta boy killed in a car crash in 1980. The same document says Garland had attended medical school in Alberta for one year before suffering a mental breakdown.Garland told the court at the time he had been traumatized after causing what he described as a horrific accident after falling asleep behind the wheel.Garland returned to Calgary after being discovered living in Vancouver and pleaded guilty to several of the charges in connection with the drug bust and stolen identity, while the others were dropped.In 2000, he was sentenced to 39 months for making amphetamines at his parents' farm.The Parole Board of Canada gave him accelerated release after six months, noting in its decision that Garland's prior criminal record consisted of property offences over the course of 20 years.His mental health played a role in the crimes, the board said, but a psychologist determined that Garland had "little violence potential to others." It ordered a psychologist and psychiatrist to closely monitor him during his release.While Garland had confessed to stealing Matthew Hartley's identity in the 1990s, when he was hiding out in Vancouver, the identity theft charge laid against him earlier this month relates to the alleged use of that same identity.
